Jews don't go camping. Life is hard enough as it is.

Framed as a punchline, the line uses self-deprecating, in-group ethnic humor to contrast the voluntary discomfort of camping with the everyday burdens of modern life. The speaker’s exaggeration (“Jews don’t…”) is not a literal sociological claim but a comic generalization that plays on stereotypes about practicality, preference for comfort, and a cultural memory in which hardship is not something to be sought recreationally. The second sentence supplies the logic of the joke: if life already contains enough struggle, choosing additional inconvenience (sleeping outdoors, roughing it) seems absurd. The humor depends on timing and bluntness, turning a lifestyle choice into a wry comment on resilience and priorities.
